Summary:

"Our flagship publication, the IDS Bulletin, was officially re-launched as an open access journal at the British Library. In continuous publication since 1968, the journal enjoys a reputation as one of the world’s leading development research publications....“Flipping” from a subscription-based to open access journal will make it more widely available to non-academic audiences and as well as researchers globally, including from countries such as India who cannot access journals through initiatives such as the Research4Life.

Formerly co-published with Wiley Blackwell, the world’s second largest journal publisher, the decision to take the IDS Bulletin back in-house and make it open access is part of a broader drive at IDS to improve engagement with ours and partners’ research by academic, practitioner and policy audiences...."
